COSH(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual COSH(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
cosh, coshf, coshl — hyperbolic cosine functions
#include <math.h> double cosh(double x); float coshf(float x); long double coshl(long double x);
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard. These functions shall compute the hyperbolic cosine of their argument x. An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the hyperbolic cosine of x. If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and cosh(), coshf(), and coshl() shall return the value of the macro HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, and HUGE_VALL, respectively. If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned. If x is ±0, the value 1.0 shall be returned. If x is ±Inf, +Inf shall be returned.
These functions shall fail if: Range Error The result would cause an overflow. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised. The following sections are informative.
None.
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero. For IEEE Std 754‐1985 double, 710.5 < |x| implies that cosh(x) has overflowed.
None.
None.
